Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music.

Jon Batiste is really good and that is a good album. All the artist that have been mentioned that are from New Orleans,  not Nawlins Please, are or were excellent musicians and song writers. I'm surprised no one mentioned James Booker. He is up there with all the ones mentioned. But as someone who actually lives and works in New Orleans, it's like nails on a chalkboard when someone from Ohio or wherever says N'awlins.

If I were a big time nawlins musician, and I felt my time was near, I would leave town.

Cheers

Wynton and the band are perfect as usual.   Lord, they can play!   Some of the tunes get perilously close to dixieland.

Cheers

If Dr. John says "N'awlins",   Nawlins it is.

The guy that told me "Nawlins" was born, raised and probably died in "New Orleans".  (proper for his obituary)

I looked it up, and some say it dis way while others say it dat way; since Rok is one of the specialists on dis subject, I'll let him decide the proper way, but it don't make no difference because we'll go along with anyway you like to say it.
